At its most basic level, you'd use the software and loader to load a custom tune like you do with Edit.xcal2 = the ability to load a tune and datalog, and not much more for $1200.VCM = as above, plus the ability to download and then edit PCM files with the full tuning software, and its not even limited to a single vehicle. And its cheaper at $1190 (again, going on the GM version).Like anything new, it'll just take time for people to get their head around. If the Expensive Daewoo guys can do it, I'm sure we can...

And maybe a Carchip EX if you're keen on datalogging values:http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=34614Simply xcal2 is too exxy for what you get, and VCM though extremely promising, aint here yet, and we only have a general ETA.I just wish CAPA had have knocked out a version of SCT's 'Pro Racer' software like they were going to when VCM threatened to eventuate last year. Its just a single VIN version of the Advantage software anyway. Meh. Edited 02/05/07 05:54 AM by Spruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
